Photographer's remark
(16.3.2011, 19:07 CET)
Enjoying skiing and wonderful weather, I was not expecting to take a single aviation shot; yet I was witnessing three different visits of this heli in the resort [Zugspitze, German Alps near the border with Austria] during the day. The photo shows a second departure, the white stuff in the sky is snow lifted by the rotor blades..... This time I was staying in some distance from the helicopter, but not far enough to avoid snow landing on my camera... Photos of the first take off that I was trying to frame earlier were spoiled completely by a short snowstorm - I was simply "snow-blasted" by the heli, staying too close, and could not hold the camera up....... Once such heli appears, it almost always means there is someone having a bad day... Well, depending very much on the point of view - such a very unfortunate and miserable experience for the injured person and his closest (just hope he/she gets OK soon!) could be an unusual / interesting moment for someone else (random people around, including one aviation photog).
